Wordpress/Joomla Event Calendar Plugins

Introduction

At Pukka Software, we are big fans of open source. We use Wordpress to power our corporate site because it's easy and powerful.

To share some love, we've developed plugins for Wordpress and Joomla to query, cache and display driving and social event listings on any Wordpress or Joomla site. Customers on our Premium plan
are entitled to embed their event listings inside their own website, tailor the fields and look and feel simply by installing our plugin.

Who Is This For?

Wordpress: This is for any organization using Wordpress 2.8.5 or newer to run a site or blog. It will require the ability to upload files to your /wp-content/plugins folder and activate
the plugin in your Wordpress Admin. No programming skills required.

Joomla: This is for any organization using Joomla 1.5, 2.5 or 3 to run a site or blog. It requires the ability upload and activate a component. No programming skills required.

Getting Started - Wordpress

Begin by downloading the plugin and extracting the files into a folder on your Wordpress server where you store your other plugins like wp-content/plugins/msr-calendar. In newer versions of Wordpress, you can upload it directly into the administrative interface under the "Plugins" menu.

You can obtain your ID from our customer support if you can't find it. Simply paste that URL into the admininistrative menu and your calendar is configured. You can optionally adjust the other settings such as which columns in the table to display.
Otherwise, you can embed the calendar in any post or page on your Wordpress site by using the shortcode:

[msr_calendar]

Alternatively, you can use the msr_calendar() PHP function in any theme template or PHP file inside of <?php ... ?> tags. The default styling looks like:

Getting Started - Joomla

The Joomla process is similar to Wordpress. Begin by downloading the plugin and use the administrative "Components" menu to upload and activate the plugin.
